Great tutorial. It amazes me that you would spend so much time helping us all with your great videos. Thank you so much my friend! BTW the Kronos is still the best "do all" board out there even now!
Thank you, these are very good tutorials, very clear . I'd very much like to see tutorials from you fulling exploring the sequencer, and if possible I'd also would like you to take a look at the wave sequencer too.
@@darrickkeels6387 Deary me, I meant fully not fulling (not even a word lol) .Great, you're my hero; because beyond using it like a tape recorder if you get what I mean, I'm lost. It would be nice to edit stuff and maybe record drums in different ways, 808 style, rather than raw.
How do I use the sliders to set the different sounds in. Like start with piano, and slide slider to fade in the strings, organ, choirs etc...have the sounds in different sliders.m
@@darrickkeels6387 I have a question I have a Kronos 88 keys I damaged my original hard drive where the pins connects to plug-ins and replaced it with Kingston 250 GBs but when I install from installation disk it would read it but will not install ? What ssd Hd would you recommended
The muting function you mention at 10:10 doesn't work on my Kronos. The Play/Mute indicator on the Combi screen toggles, but there's no change in the sound at all. Has anyone else experienced this?
Hi Darrrick , loved the tutorials. Reallly really helped me. How did you assign reverb or say a room sound to an init combi. I have ch 1 assigned German dark. Ch2 warm pad. I now want to assign on ch 3 either reverb fx or maybe a cathedral hall or something……I just don’t know how…pls help lol Nigel
Thanks for the great tutorial , is there a way to create a keyboard split combi and output 2 different midi channels ? I want to control another synth with the 2 different midi channels
Yeah you can. In the video I went to the timbre parameters tab and went to MIDI and changed everything channel to 01G so that you could play every sound from the Kronos. However you can change each instrument to whatever channel you wish. For example, if you don't change channel to 01G it can be triggered by another keyboard if that keyboard is set to play channel number 2.
Hi Darrick - I really enjoy your tutorials. I wonder if you might help me on an issue I am having. If you listen to "Open Secrets" by RUSH, you will hear maybe a string sound but it has a repeating tone following along at the same time. Can you suggest how I might replicate this sound with the repeating note? Thank you so much, David.
Darrick, I didn't watch or listen to the entire tutorial yet ;). I have already created my own Combis, layers, splits. My BIG question is, "During performance, HOW does one know WHERE the splits are?" I mean, other than using my own brainpower memory? Seems to me it should be LIT UP just above the keys with a colored line or something that would help prevent accidentally playing in the wrong area at the wrong time ;). I have multiple splits for some songs. A couple of songs I even made a 'part 1' and a 'part 2', Two different Combis for a song. Am I going to have to make some cheap looking pain in the rear paper thing for each song? HOPE NOT!! I have had a Kronos for 8 years or so. I just bought a 2nd one so I don't have to lug it to rehearsals. I only have the older models, not a Kronos2, if it makes a difference. One is a Kronos X. Thanks in advance for any help.
Unfortunately there are no lights or anything that tells you during a performance where your splits are. The only thing you can do is add notes in your set list to give you a reminder of where things are split to jog your memory before a song begins.
Hello brother... would you let me know how can i copy everything belong to sound then paste it to another sound basically to take a sound personality to give it to another sound. I appreciate your time.
I know right lol I heard you can maybe download them on a computer then load it into the keyboard but still haven’t found a tutorial on exactly how to do that 🤦🏻♂️ 🤷🏻♂️ that would be wonderful if I could, I’m actually surprised there’s not any tutorials on that. I think if it was that easy, there would be one on RU-vid ;)
This keyboard sounds great,but I think,there’s too much menu work for me,I’m not technical,any advice on a keyboard with great and versatile sounds that’s not quite so technical?
Actually yes. A Nord has far less menu diving but you cannot have a backing track with drums and a bass play with you following your chords. I would recommend an arranger keyboard like the Korg PA4x-61 or Yamaha's Genos if you want something you can record on and have it follow your chords. Any workstation on the market today is going to have menu diving. The Roland Fantom, FA-08, Kurzweil etc all have multiple windows to navigate. Even the performance synths like the Yamaha Montage and MODX is going to be lots of menus to access the deep parameters.
@@robertmichalscheck3072 Check out the Beatbuddy. It is normally used for guitars but it has a MIDI in and I am pretty sure it works with keyboards as well.
Darrick Keels okay ,thx,was curious about hooking up arranger keyboard to main keyboard for this purpose as well,basically would use arranger like a module?
@@robertmichalscheck3072 You certainly could do something like that. People often ask me why I have more than one keyboard. It is because no keyboard is "perfect." Weighted keys are "perfect" for piano playing but not so much fun if your gig requires mainly organ and synth sounds. Menu diving is a great method for editing really deep parameters but not so much fun if you want to simply tweak sounds "on the fly." Heavy keyboards feel super sturdy and are a joy to play but a pain to carry up and down steps and through crowded hallways etc. I would personally buy the keyboard that suits your most important needs. And then if there are things you desire beyond that you can add more pieces gradually.
😄 No I didn't. But if you are listening on a cellphone you may not be able to hear those low frequencies out of the tiny speaker. Try using headphones.
Don’t understand why korg kronos only has polyphony of 200?some cheaper keyboards have more,like this Roland I just got with unlimited polyphony I believe.
The Kronos polyphony is different based on the sound engine you are using. The SGX-2 Piano sound engine has 400 mono voices or 100 dual stereo voices. The CX-3 Organ Sound engine has 200 voices. The PolysixEX has 180 voices, while the STR-1 has only a maximum of 40 voices. Roland's V-Piano engine has unlimited polyphony but there SuperNatural sound engine is 128-polyphony or if you are using the new "Zen-core" engine it is "up to" 256-voices, depending on which sound you are using. No keyboard on the market has unlimited polyphony for every sound. 200 stereo voices is plenty of polyphony in actual use. Every single note an 88-Key keyboard can sound at the same time and you would still have polyphony to spare. That is kind of hard to do. Unless you are playing the most complicated classical pieces ever composed. Then I would recommend a Dexibell if that is what you play. But Dexibell doesn't have good horns, brass, pads, etc. They are truly catered more to those who play classical or traditional jazz piano.
@@darrickkeels6387 how do the engines work. Is there a way to know wich engine I'm using for a sound? Can you flip over sounds to another engine that is less encumbered?
I have had a Kronos x for a few months, I am having second thoughts, the full fullorchestra is great, but not a lot of usable sounds, some very " way out " etheral sounds, I have a hammond xm1, way better than any organ sounds, a roland bk3, much better accesibility
